Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Regarding ATVI, If this drop continues would you step in at a certain price or is it low enough already that you are comfortable for a 5 year hold? Is there a price that screams out to you BUY!?

I feel the stock reaction is overblown not, to dismiss the issues at hand but I don’t feel anything has changed with the companies outlook long term with great gaming assets and the metaverse theme gaining traction moving forward.

Q: Fire sale - V - 13 month low; MA just as bad; along with the rest of these. Do you think the people selling them have knowledge that we do not have and that is why they are selling these stocks. What is your take on what is happening? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team,
When designing a portfolio about a year ago I made sure to have exposure in Emerging Markets as I was underweight in foreign equities. With Chinese equities under pressure does one just continue to hold these equities in order to have a diversified portfolio and ride the ups and downs if one is a long term investor? Your insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Q: Hello, in the answer to a member’s question about “fraudulent activity” you say: “We would exercise more caution on foreign entities due to accounting differences. Over the counter small companies should essentially just be avoided.” My question is related to the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Market VEE ETF that contains 5250 stocks, out of which 37% are from China. Is it possible that many of the VEE stocks fall into the category stated above? Thank you

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In reviewing our combined family TFSA portfolio, I’ve determined that we hold too much XST with its 0.61% MER. How would you rank the following stocks, which are all the constituents of XST? ATD.B, L, MRU, WN, SAP, EMP.A, PBH, PRMW, MFI, NWC, JWEL, VFF, and SOY.

Should I pay attention to the TMX ratings where WN, MFI, and VFF are considered strong buys? Only NWC was ranked as hold and all the others were moderate buys.

In your opinion, in what order could two or three of these constituents be purchased and are they buyable today?

Thanks as always for your valued advice!

Q: A friend commented that buying this fund would be a positive play in the event there is a Bear Market. I believe that a Bear Market is going to happen however when is anyone's guess, but things can't be climbing indefinitely so a reset of some sort has to happen. What is this fund and what part, if any, could such a fund play in one's portfolio. A simple explanation would be appreciated as I consider myself still 'in training' in the DIY investment world. Please note I have a limited number of stocks (7) in my portfolio (representing 6 sectors)
all which are in your Model Income Portfolio. Thank-you
